Chapter Eighty-Nine: Krivich Withdraws!
Crevic, who was hundreds of feet away, witnessed the killing of Brookridge, but he did not rush to the rescue, nor did he want to rush to the death with David Mo.
To be precise, he had been frightened out of his guts, and in the face of the power of David Mo's earth-shattering blow, he felt a sense of powerlessness from the bottom of his heart. Dragons he had only seen in clothes and books, and they were the crowning glory of the royal family.
But he had never expected someone to release this kind of light and shadow, let alone heard of a warrior who could defeat a Golden Level 5 warrior at the Gold Level 1. David Mo's performance of strength bent the last straw of his psychological defense.
Brookridge was his superior, his mentor in life, and the strongest man he admired the most. Now watching him fall, Krevich has mixed feelings and haunts his heart.
There was already a circle of officers above the battalion level around him, and everyone looked at him with blank eyes, hoping that he would immediately give the order to resist the pace of the Holy Empire.
Unfortunately, they were disappointed, and Krivich clenched his teeth and said hatefully: "Pass the order! Gather the remnants! Give up the north gate and prepare to move closer to Lord Sariev!"
Hearing his order, the people around were stunned for a moment, and then they all spoke out to stop them, and a middle-aged man turned over and knelt down, shouting: "My lord! We have the advantage in numbers! If we gather the remnants of the army, we should still have the strength to fight!"
His views represented the thoughts of the majority of the officers, and the officers around him fell to their knees, and the cries of pleas for war were incessant, which made Krivich embarrassed for a while.
However, there were also people around who had not knelt down, and I saw a red-faced man take two steps forward and persuade: "Everyone, get up! ”
The middle-aged man who was the first to kneel on the ground heard his voice, and directly took a sip and said indignantly: "Toguro! Now this big battalion is taken over by our regiment! You are a defeated general, what qualifications do you have to make irresponsible remarks here!"
The middle-aged man's name is Svida, and he is the deputy head of the regiment under Krivich's account. It was taboo for him to speak to Toguro in this tone, and he would have been convicted and punished in ordinary times.
But at the moment, there were all the soldiers under Krivić, and no one was looking at him at all, and even many people applauded Svida's rude applause, which just said what was in their hearts.
Togro was furious, when did he receive such rude treatment, his face immediately turned cold, and he scolded: "There is no big or small thing!
Sweda's face turned red, and he no longer continued to kneel, but suddenly got up and drew his sword to face each other, shouting: "You have a reason to abandon the army and run away!
Seeing that he dared to draw a knife and point at himself, and the sledgehammer was gone, Togro immediately pulled out his weapon from the waist of the guard next to him, stared at Svida coldly, and shouted: "Lao Tzu can't clean up others, it's okay to clean up your rabbit cub! Grandpa will send you on your way today!"
For a while, the saber rattling, the guards behind Toguro "swooped" and drew their weapons, and the soldiers under Krivic were also not to be outdone, and pulled out their weapons one after another and pointed directly at Toguro and others.
When Krevich saw this scene, a wave of disgust flashed in his heart: the old duke's bones were not cold, and these people were actually fighting in their own camp.
He frowned, and shouted, "Stop it for Lao Tzu! The Holy Empire hasn't come over yet, and you're in a mess yourself!"
His shouting order was extremely useful, and how many years of accumulation of power made the entire noisy camp suddenly quiet, and his soldiers were indignant, and finally took the lead in retracting their weapons.
Seeing this, Togro couldn't continue the stalemate, returned the waist knife to the guard just now, and snorted coldly and stopped talking.
Seeing that the atmosphere was still a little cold, Krivich eased up slightly: "Togro, tell me why you can't entangle with the forces of the Holy Empire anymore. ”
When Togro heard his question, he was originally reluctant to say anything, but when he saw the slightly unconvinced eyes of the people around him, he sneered and said: "No matter how many people have a fart! The old duke is dead, and the hearts of the people are scattered, what to beat?!"
He said this, glanced at everyone coldly, and continued: "If you want to fight again, there is also a way, as long as you can kill that silver-speared enemy general, you can not only recast the morale of the army, but also turn defeat into victory." ”
He snorted coldly twice, and said with some disdain: "I just don't know which of you wants to be this urgent pioneer?!"
His somewhat mocking question, but it stumped the officers around him, all of them turned red but no one dared to refute him, the strength of the silver-speared young general just now couldn't even withstand Bukridge, who would dare to send him to death again?!
Krivich nodded secretly in his heart, although he looked down on this coward who escaped, but he had to admit that Toguro's strategic vision was undoubtedly very correct.
"I agree with Commander Togue's opinion, now that the enemy is on the move, it is not appropriate for us to continue to entangle for the time being. I have made up my mind, gather the remnants of the army, abandon the northern city of Gerben, and we will first go and join the forces of the Marquis of Sariyev!"
Seeing that his intention to retreat was firm, everyone could not continue to persuade each other, and they got up and left, preparing to lead the army to retreat together. However, when passing by Togro, their faces were still a little ugly.
Togro doesn't mind, he doesn't have a general under him now, it's not good to fall out with these people, and when he gathers the remnants of the army and leads his headquarters, he will still be a good man at ease.
Immediately said goodbye to Krivic and left, and when he left, a touch of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he secretly hated in his heart: The humiliation suffered today will be repaid a hundredfold!
Krievich stared at his departing back, his eyes flickering slightly, but then he didn't think much about it, and led his own guard battalion to immediately pull out camp and prepare to leave.
As he left the camp, he happened to meet the officer carrying the body of Brookridge. After staring at Brookridge's corpse for a while, he was silent for a moment in his heart, and said with a slight stump: "Get a carriage and leave with the Duke, I will take the old man with me!"
The guards beside him were slightly embarrassed, seeing that the pursuers were coming, if they took a carriage with them, they were afraid that they would be caught up in an instant. However, since it was Krievic's order, he didn't dare to refuse at the moment, so he rode his horse away to make arrangements.
Seeing this, several officers wailed and shouted, "Your Excellency must avenge the Duke!"
Krivich nodded solemnly, turned his head to look at the Holy Empire's royal forbidden army that was rushing in the distance, his eyes showed a hint of hatred, and he exclaimed: "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years! Don't act like such a woman! Come with me to meet with Lord Marquis of Surrey!"
At the moment, he no longer continued to pay attention to those people, and rode away with a whip. Preserving the strength of the Roman army was now his priority, and he couldn't take too much personal care into account for the time being.
The fleeing army horses' hooves were surging, and the might of the Roman army had disappeared without a trace, and the Gelben soldiers who saw this scene on the city tower couldn't help but start waving their flags and shouting.
Everyone looked at David Mo with reverence, this god-like captain of the Royal Forbidden Legion almost single-handedly turned the tide of the battle!
At this time, David Mo's chest was still slightly undulating, although he killed Bukrich, but he was also severely injured, and now he insisted on fighting, just to prevent the Roman army from seeing the flaws.
The last rays of sunlight gradually fell, and the sweep on the entire battlefield was nearing its end, and the fleeing Roman army numbered about 40,000 people, including about 5,000 zhōngyāng troops.
There were about 20,000 or 30,000 Roman soldiers who surrendered, basically ordinary soldiers without any cultivation, and David Mo confined them all in the camp of the Roman army in the past, and he had a slight headache for these people, and there was no good way to deal with them for the time being.
David Movich intentionally or unintentionally separated Krievic's troops from the battlefield, trying not to let the soldiers be caught by Krievic. So much so that Krievich only gathered about 30,000 men, and many more soldiers took advantage of the chaos to flee from the battlefield.
Most of the 30,000 people were ordinary soldiers, and the most deserted in the zhōngyāng army were mages, and as the most unprofessional soldiers, the group of mages has always been spurned by the soldiers.
David Mo stopped the soldiers who wanted to continue the pursuit, now they only had more than 5,000 people, but they had to guard more than 20,000 Roman soldiers, and if they divided the army, their strength would only be weaker.
Immediately, he ordered: "Separate all the guards, five hundred people as a unit, if one dares to escape, the entire unit will be killed!"
Teller laughed and said, "My lord, this is a good idea! If one dares to escape, I will not be happy with this big axe in my hand!"
Moknash smiled faintly, shook his head slightly but didn't say anything, this battle was won too suddenly. Although he already knew how powerful David Mo was, he didn't expect that even a golden fifth-level powerhouse was not his opponent.
When David Mo saw the extremely excited Tlerby, he immediately smiled and said, "Terrby, since you like to kill people so much, then I will leave the task of guarding the prisoners to you!"
He paused slightly, looked at the many officers staring at him, and said with a faint smile: "Leave a thousand soldiers for you, and all the others will follow me into the city!"
Tielebi was suddenly a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "My lord, a thousand soldiers can't do it, what about these tens of thousands of people, where can a thousand people be able to defend it!"
David Mo sighed, and said with some worry: "After I enter the city, I will also be in charge of the fortifications, if there are too few people, it will not work. Anyway, I've given you the task, as for how you do it, be flexible in your methods, maybe you can get it right!" After speaking, he ignored Tielebi, led everyone out of the camp, and prepared to enter the city with the whole army.
When Moknash passed by Treby, he walked up to him a little and whispered to him: "You can kill any strange movement, they are all useless ordinary soldiers, and if you leave too much, you will waste food......"
After he finished speaking, he chuckled at Tielebi twice, patted him on the shoulder and said no more, and followed David Mo to prepare to enter the North City.
David Mo stepped on the war horse, looked at another Roman army camp in the southeast, and found that the entire battlefield was still in a state of stalemate, he frowned slightly, and sighed to Moknash beside him: "Our side is over, but I don't know how the master is ......."
Seeing that his eyes were slightly sad, Moknash comforted: "The order issued by the military aircraft department is for me to wait to hold the city of Gelben, and my lord is just acting in accordance with the military order." ”
David Mo nodded, no more words, the gate of the North City finally opened, and the remaining more than 2,000 people followed him into the city one after another, and the soldiers of the North City of Gelben cheered and thundered for a while, and the word glory resounded throughout the North City!
